1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: To assess the knowledge level of physicians on anticoagulation management and identify their training needs to ensure the safety and efficacy of warfarin therapy among patients. Methods: This project adopted convenient sampling and collected survey questionnaires online to investigate physicians' management level in aspects such as basic anticoagulation knowledge, routine adjustment of warfarin dosage, and management of warfarin complications and special situations after mechanical valve replacement. Results: Among the 232 participants in this survey, 158 were male (68.10%), and 74 were female (31.90%); Grade III hospitals accounted for 61.21%; cardiovascular medicine department accounted for 65.09%; primary, intermediate, and advanced title holders each accounted for about one-third. The respondents had a good foundation in warfarin anticoagulation knowledge, and most physicians could guide patients in anticoagulation treatment. However, there were still many respondents who answered incorrectly on some basic questions. Using the chi-square test, the analysis of the impact of gender, age, hospital level, department, education, and title on the knowledge level of warfarin anticoagulation found that gender had no statistical significance in all items; age, department, and title had statistically significant differences in the impact on the knowledge level of anticoagulation in the respondent ( Conclusion: The respondents have good anticoagulation knowledge on basic items, but some healthcare professionals have insufficient understanding of some items, such as the approximate time required for INR to reach a stable value and the use of warfarin in pregnant women, posing significant risks in clinical work. Relevant healthcare professional training should be strengthened on extended knowledge on warfarin.
